Spring Fever

wings fans are idiots
Mattcc96: why
me: ohhh, the wings are too old, the wings are too soft.. there goal tending sucks.. yeah, if you watched more than 2 games in the last 2 seasons you would know that after 2 players they are one of the youngest teams in the league.. you would know that they have been playing playoff style hockey since M Babcock was hired.. and you would know that Wings goal tending has been the best in the league the past two seasons,
there. now I dont have to call a sports talk station
Mattcc96: thanks, I turn off the radio when hockey talk is on
i feel the same way about the Tigers. Everyone is a baseball expert now
me: yeah.. cause you know that the tigers sucks cause its cold out.. or they cant hit cause Granderson isnt in the line up.. or the bullpen sucks cause a beer bonging, guitar hero playing, flash in the pan, flamer thrower is on the DL.. Or that the second coming of Dan Quisenbury is on the DL..
Mattcc96: ha, exactly
nice
me: My take: remember when everyone thought the 2006 tigers were a fluke? pitching wise they were.. they were lucky to not lose anyone to injury and they were lucky when the pitching went in the tank the second half to pull out a playoff spot.. until the pitching is address this is a good team.. a team that will contend for a playoff spot for a couple years.. I think there shot at a WS was in 06 and now its gone..
Mattcc96: yeah pretty much
it was amazing no one got hurt in 06
me: yeah.. ok.. since I have been lazy I am going to use this as a blog entry.. I havent posted anything since November

Randomness of sport (summer edition)

I watched the LA Galaxy - Chelsea 'friendly' tonight (mostly between innings of the Tigers game).. Or should I call it the David Beckham ESPN media circus/kiss ass night? It made my heart happy to hear a 'Beckham sucks' chant as the game ended.. My only hope is that with soccer's new found momentum in the states (yes, more people are starting to pay attention) one of my favorite sports will not be dumbed down for the American audience.. I am very content to follow sports that enjoy a grass roots kind of novelty in this country (soccer and to a lesser extent hockey)..

Speaking of the Tigers, Inges dramatic 10th inning walkoff not only saved 'rollercoasters' ass but also landed the 3rd sacker in the number 1 slot on SC's plays of the night. Jones probably could have ended the game in the 9th if he got off his fat ass and actually tried to field a ball.. 3 straight dribblers went right through the mound and all 3 times he waived as they went by..

The Tigers negro league jerseys rank right up there with the Lions throwback IMO.. They are now in my top 5..
